I have my doubts on whether or not Anderson Robotics entering the field of guided missiles is in line with the GoI, but I'm willing to overlook that on the sheer strength of the morbid humor of the piece. The tragedy of indoctrinating what are essentially preteens into becoming suicide bombers and their subsequent brief flashes of insight before death goes so far that it wraps all the way around from deep tragedy to wicked comedy. It doesn't deliver any meaningful political insights, but it doesn't need to.

I mean, if the Foundation isn't the place to see preteen AIs being indoctrinated into becoming child suicide bombers and encountering the horrific pointlessness of their existence in the moments before their death, I don't know what is. Jesus.

SCP-2873 refers to a missile guidance assembly manufactured by Anderson Robotics, apparently a derivative work of [REDACTED] resulting in a less effective but highly miniaturized artificial intelligence system-on-a-chip.

This reminded me of "Dark Star", only darker. Using AI as a weapons guidance system seems like using a Faberge Easter egg as a hammer, which just highlights how coldly the AIs are viewed by their creators.
